| Lyrics
Looks like a long way to heaven from here.
Bet you're wondering how you're gonna make it dear.
And you don't know how I know but you know I do.
And you're afraid to ask so I'll tell you it's true.
You know I know 'cause those are my old shoes.
You know I know 'cause those are my old shoes.
Looks like a long way to heaven from there.
Brush off your sweat, brush back your hair.
Then a great journey you can begin.
But you gotta take the first step my firend.
And don't go walking out in my old shoes.
You'll never go anywhere in my old shoes.
That ain't no way to try and pay your dues.
They'll leave you with nothing but the blues.
Getting high from the fresh smell of diesel in the bus.
What you really need is someone to trust.
This ain't no life runnning town to town.
Kick off those shoes, yea throw 'em on down.
Chorus
I thought I threw those shoes away…
Tired worn and beat up, too many miles on the soul.
Why you wearing my old shoes today?
One sip of a bitter cup, two steps down in a hole.
You know I've been where you are,
I'm telling you there's a way.
To climb back to the sun,
To find another day.
